HQ Architects’ 186,000 m² Goldberg Masterplan expresses a strong focus on enhancing connectivity, infrastructure and providing quality public space. A strong public realm is expressed by transforming a disused space next to the train tracks into a public green space, with the creation of an underground multi-level passageway, and by introducing a new bridge over the tracks, both promoting cross connection to the city. The Masterplan opens marginalised and disused spaces, provides additional housing and vibrant walkable public areas, setting the foundations for Lod’s future growth and its transformation into a destination.
